Description

LeRoy Neiman (il); Ernest Lawrence Thayer (au); Joe Torre (in). The quintessential baseball poem brought to life with rich charcoal drawings by the legendary artist LeRoy Neiman, with an inspiring intro. by Yankees manager Joe Torre, considered by many to be the greatest baseball manager of all time. Thayer’s classic tale of baseball hopes & dreams comes to life with Neiman’s lush, meticulously detailed charcoal drawings. These illustrations -- a rare departure from the vibrantly colored paintings that made Neiman famous -- evoke Mudville’s beloved Casey in images that are muscular, & unmistakably American. Torre says, “The emotion that comes from competition is what sports is all about. The highs & lows, the booing & the cheering, the elation & the frustration. LeRoy Neiman captures it all.”
